Gov. Dave Umahi, has dismissed media reports that Boko Haram members relocated from Ekwulobia Prisons in Anambra State were transferred to Ebonyi State.
Umahi’s Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya, yesterday disclosed how the governor made dramatic phone calls based on the reports only to find out that the news was false.
“We read with utter disgust, stories by two national dailies that there was panic in Ebonyi State over rumoured transfer of some Boko Haram inmates from Ekwulobia Prisons in Anambra to Abakaliki Prisons.
“His Excellency, the Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, is surprised that almost 48 hours after he addressed a live press conference denying the rumour, newspapers still went ahead to publish falsehood.”
